ACF vs Meta Box – In this video I do a simple comparison of ACF and Meta Box performance. It is difficult to compare them because they have different architectures, but we learn some things in the video and are able to draw some conclusions.

Interesting results from the ACF 2023 annual survey. I’d say it is wildly popular among developers.

Here is a good video from Paul Charlton on how to use ACF Flexible Content fields with Bricks.

ACF 6.2 has been released. It includes the option pages UI (pro only) and bidirectional relationship features (free and pro).

Coming in ACF 6.2 are two new features: built-in bidirectional relationship fields and built-in option pages. Up until now these features required a code snippet to enable, but with ACF 6.2 they can be setup with the user interface.  

In this video Paul C considers several solutions for custom fields that are ACF alternatives.

An easy technique using ACF and the Block Visibility plugin to restrict content by user access level.

ACF 6.2 Pro will include the ability to create an admin page within the UI. The ability to create bi-directional relationships in the UI is also coming, though I’m not sure it will be in 6.2.

Phil Kurth of Hookturn is releasing a new ACF extension plugin called ACF Remote Sync. It lets you sync field groups across sites.
